Manchester United fans react angrily to Ashley Young's one year contract extension

Manchester United captain Ashley Young will not be joining Inter Milan next summer neither will he be signing a pre-contract agreement with other clubs having be given a one-year contract extension.  Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is a huge fan of the 34-year-old and feels his presence at the club will be useful to the younger players in the team.  Although, the decision to keep him at the club haven't gone down well with fan who vented angrily on different social medias.  Some of the tweet reads; "How the might have fallen..

Will Liverpool crumble if Virgil van Dijk is ruled out for the rest of the season?

Image
Virgil van Dijk is a world class defender, a leader and above all a professional player who knows ever detail of his job and how to do it.

 He posses the aerial prowess to trouble any defense in the world, the incisive passes to build the game from the back and the vocal communication to speak to any player/defender and keep him check. 

 What really makes him special which Jurgen Klopp can attest is his desire to improve and help others improve as well. 

 The 27-year-old Dutch international have made Liverpool a world class team and today their European champions. 

 But the question remains, what will happen if Van Dijk is ruled out for the rest of the season? Will Liverpool's defense crumble or remain strong? 

 Jurgen Klopp was asked that very question during his press conference on Friday and he had this to say: 'I have 4 world class defenders who can play very well. If Van Dijk is injured; Joe Gomez, Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip can equally do the same job'. 

 But that's not true. None of this defenders posses the physical strength, aerial ability, emotional intelligence and world class mistiming and interceptions of  Van Dijk. 

 Van Dijk is not all about defending; he orchestrates the tempo of the game from the back and ensures the back line are in order and not out of shape. 

 He scores goals when the chances present itself and makes key interceptions or lunges to limit the number of shots Adrian or Alisson Becker gets in a match. 

 He makes Joel Matip believe in his undoubted quality and permits him to maraud forward and join the attack when the chance present itself. 

 His partnership with Joel Matip is the best Liverpool have had in 14 years. But men are world class which is why Liverpool are the prime candidates to win the Premier League and Champions League. 

 But if Van Dijk do get injured {hopefully not the rest of the season}, it will certainly shake Liverpool but only if Joel Matip can regurgitate everything he has learned from Van Dijk and become the leader at the back.

Revealed: Mo Salah is still injured with an ankle injury and now needs injections to play

Its difficult to  fathom the sort of pain Mohamed Salah goes through before and after playing a football match.  The Liverpool winger is still suffering an ankle injury sustained against Leicester City almost one moment. The culprit remains Hamaza Choudhury whose nasty challenge sent Salah to the ground in agony.  Sadly, Salah trains alone, the medical staff and coaches have tailored a specific training programmee for him in a bid to help him recover as quickly as possible. Before a game is played, the fluid in his ankle is drained and later he is injected with pain killers 'presumably' to reduce the pain he will feel.  Asked about Salah's injury, Jurgen Klopp said during his press conference: "He should be fine. He has had to do his individual stuff but he will be in training {on Friday}.  "I think it is more really annoying- for him, not me- the fact that the injury always has a bit of fluid in, and he has to deal with it, we get it out an...

Roy Hodgson reveals what Crystal Palace must do to beat Liverpool

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is confident of becoming the first Premier League manager to beat Liverpool this season.  The Reds are unbeaten this season having won 11 games and drawn just once to Manchester United. In fact, Liverpool's last defeat came in hand of Manchester City which was last season.  Since that defeat, Liverpool have gone to win 42 matches and drawn 6 with no defeat.  Hodgson who managed Liverpool from {2010-11} feels he has the antidote to neutralise Liverpool.  "We have to restrict the space their front three are good at using. We have to defend the wide areas", Hodgson said during his press conference.  "We have to make sure our defending around the penalty box is very good. They are a very energetic team, a high pressing culture that when the ball is lost they work very hard to win it back and we need to have composure to free ourselves from our pressure." Crystal Palace haven't beaten Liverpool in any compe...
